In 2012 Gareth Evans certainly put Indonesia on the map when it comes action thrillers with the superb The Raid and will again deliver that mayhem with The Raid 2: Berandal. Next week Evan's film will make it's world premier at Sundance Film Festival and it won't be the only Indonesian film at the festival. The Mo Brothers (Macabre, V/H/S 2) are set to showcase Killers and ahead of that premiere a brand new extended trailer has dropped online.

The brothers better known as Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel are releasing one of the highly anticipated films of 2014 a film that's been described as 'the new I Saw The Devil' and that's what excites us about this film. Killers is a frenetic story of 2 men one a sociopathic serial killer in Tokyo another in Jakarta  a failing journalist & father both only connected due to their lust for blood. They pair post their crimes online it becomes clear the pair are battling for notoriety sending them both on a uncontrollable journey of ferocious self discovery.

Synopsis


Mr. Nomura is an eerily handsome, sharply dressed, sociopathic serial killer who preys on the women of Tokyo. In Jakarta, a world-weary journalist named Bayu finds himself unexpectedly falling into vigilantism after brutally killing two sadistic robbers. When each posts videos of his violent sprees online, the pair find one another on the Internet and begin a toxic and competitive duel. While Bayu clings to the hope that he can resume a normal life, Nomura continues to spill blood without remorse. Killing, advises Nomura, is something everyone ought to consider.
Timo Tjahjanto, codirector of the V/H/S/2 segment "Safe Haven," returns to Park City at Midnight, collaborating with longtime filmmaking partner Kimo Stromboel on their bleak and blood-soaked second feature as creative team The Mo Brothers. Killers uses energetic camerawork and a wildly varied musical score to vividly capture brutality in ways both bone-rattlingly frenetic and serenely transfixing, while always keeping audience members aware of their complicity with the characters' own bloodlust.
